My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What color subway tile with Alabaster Cabinets?

6 years ago

We are putting a back splash in the kitchen and our cabinets are alabaster white with butcher block counter tops in dark tung oil. The walls are agreeable gray. We just got a box of them and there a bit whiter then the cabinets. Is that horrible?
